Trump supporter banned for life from Delta flights after rant

52. Actually - I like that he wasn't escorted from the plane.

While I understand the appropriateness and why you say that - I go a different direction. To escort him off the plane would have been a statement by the captain (since that's who would have the final say). I like that this decision to ban him for life from a Delta plane was taken at a much more substantial level. It wasn't just a single pilot exercising his judgment in the moment - it was the entire Delta system saying "Nope - not going to be tolerated on ANY of our flights".

And this guy might only be a once a year traveler, the next guy who thinks he should teach the HRC bitches a lesson in the air might be a twice a month business guy living in a city that is Delta heavy. Hit him with a lifetime ban and it's gonna hurt, as it should.

This sets the standard and, at least to me, is a lot more than symbolic...it's systemic.

Additionally, every delta employee knows now that the company has their back. It's a learning curve but I think the lesson here is less for the asshat and more for the pilots and attendants who are going to be on the front line.
